New Rights Deal Expands Italian Championship Soccer Coverage on Canadian TV
July 31 2024 - 2:27PM
TLN Media Group’s new expanded deal for the Italian-language
broadcast rights for
Serie A,
Coppa
Italia, and the
Italian Super Cup means
more matches and more goals on TLN TV, the Canadian TV home of
Italian soccer.
Serie A is regarded as one of the
best football leagues in the world and is followed by 4.4 Million
Canadians (Vividata 2021 Study of the Canadian Consumer – Sports
& eSports). The league boasts some of the world's most famous
clubs such as Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, as well as
Canadian-owned Bologna FC 1909. And with 60% of the over 600 soccer
players in the league coming from 73 foreign countries, it is also
at the top for quality, diversity and worldwide appeal. Among those
diverse international stars is Brampton, Ontario’s very own
Tajon Buchanan who signed with current league
champions Inter Milan earlier this year.
